Finding a Life Beyond Your Own

Bella POV

I've been so depressed since my mother died in the car accident with Phil. I've been worried about me. He saw through my fake happiness.

My boyfriend Mike has been very distance from me. I don't know why either.

Angela told a new family is supposed to be coming to town soon. But that wasn't why I was nervous right now. My dad signed me up to get some foreign exchange student to come live with us.

Her name is Nicole you can call her Nicole the way Americans say it though. She knows a lot of English and can speak it fine. She was a beautiful blonde who looks just like Ashley Tisdale before she got a nose job but Nicole has natural blonde hair.

From her letters she said she was only 5'2 in. compared to my 5'9 in. Everyone around here is pretty tall so she was short to me. She did love shopping though and was different from me.

That is why Charlie picked her because she was perky and could probably cheer me up and be a good older sister to me. I bet she couldn't cheer me up if my life depended on it.

Charlie and I were meeting her at the airport where she would come in. Then drive her black pourshe she got for a going away gift from her parents. They had it shipped here. I could either drive with her or Charlie. I choose her.

I needed some girl time to be honest with. I mean Angela spends all her free time with Ben. Now with Mike acting weird I needed someone. I just hope she didn't steal my boyfriend because she was a lot prettier than me.

I'll be honest she can have Jacob that poor boy won't stop trying he thinks I don't notice but I see right through him easily. Although Nicole is a year older than me I had a feeling we get along. I know this because she was good at keeping the conversation going because I was terrible at that.

Plus she told me she doesn't mind silence so I need someone just to be there and hold me she would without questioning me. Knowing I would tell her when I'm ready. I talk to her on the phone for a little bit but not long because of time difference and long distance.

I was happy though because she probably when we got home and would probably unpack then sleep. So I got to see Mike when I get home. He was coming over to my house.

"Oh, right here we are. Her plan should land shortly." Charlie broke me out of my long thought.
